1 W hakamoemititia a Ihowa. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa i runga i nga rangi: whakamoemititia ia i nga wahi tiketike.

Praise Yah! Praise Yahweh from the heavens! Praise him in the heights!

2 W hakamoemititia ia, e ana anahera katoa: whakamoemititia ia, e ana mano whaioio.

Praise him, all his angels! Praise him, all his army!

3 W hakamoemititia ia, e te ra, e te marama: whakamoemititia ia, e nga whetu whakamarama katoa.

Praise him, sun and moon! Praise him, all you shining stars!

4 W hakamoemititia ia, e nga rangi o nga rangi, e nga wai hoki o runga atu i nga rangi.

Praise him, you heavens of heavens, You waters that are above the heavens.

5 K ia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nana hoki i whakahau, a kua hanga ratou.

Let them praise Yahweh’s name, For he commanded, and they were created.

6 N ana hoki aua mea i whakapumau ake ake: i whakatakotoria e ia he tikanga e kore e taka.

He has also established them forever and ever. He has made a decree which will not pass away.

7 W hakamoemititia a Ihowa, i runga i te whenua, e nga tarakona, e nga rire katoa;

Praise Yahweh from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all depths!

8 E te kapura, e te whatu; e te hukarere, e te kohu; e te tupuhi, e mahi nei i tana kupu;

Lightning and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling his word;

9 E nga maunga, e nga puke katoa; e nga rakau hua, e nga hita katoa;

mountains and all hills; fruit trees and all cedars;

10 E nga kirehe, e nga kararehe katoa; e nga mea ngokingoki, e nga manu whai pakau:

wild animals and all livestock; small creatures and flying birds;

11 E nga kingi o te whenua, e nga iwi katoa; e nga rangatira, e nga kaiwhakawa katoa o te whenua:

kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth;

12 E nga taitama, e nga taitamahine; e nga koroheke ratou ko nga tamariki:

both young men and maidens; old men and children:

13 K ia whakamoemititia e ratou te ingoa o Ihowa: nona anake hoki te ingoa e nui ana; kei runga ake i te whenua, i te rangi, tona kororia.

let them praise Yahweh’s name, for his name alone is exalted. His glory is above the earth and the heavens.

14 K o ia hoki te kaiwhakaara o te haona o tana iwi; e whakamoemititia ana e ana tangata tapu katoa; e nga tama a Iharaira, e te iwi e tata ana ki a ia. Whakamoemititia a Ihowa.

He has lifted up the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near to him. Praise Yah!
